Dear friends and family, As a United Hatzalah volunteer I am called to respond to hundreds of calls annually in my neighborhood, Neve Yaakov. Many times our calls have happy endings, sometimes less so. There are some calls where the cause or the result of the medical emergency is grinding relentless poverty. It can be a single mom who is skimping on basic neccesities, resulting in frequent childhood illnesses and excacerbation of existing medical conditions. It can be a former breadwinner unemployed following a cardiac incident or car accident. Our partner, Poseach Es Yadecha is the premiere Maos Chittim/Tzeddaka organziation helping the people of Neve Yaakov. Their caring concern, insightful human intelligence and efficient zero-overhead management ensure that all funds achieve maximum benefit for the people who need it most. Join me in treating poverty with generosity, curing heartache and strengthening families. Daniel Katzenstein
